Your Time Travels (YTT) is a travel company for animal lovers, vegan-owned and run. Ever begin to plan a vacation only to think “Damn, I hope they have healthy food I can eat” or “I really hope this place doesn’t
have monkeys on chains as entertainment.” This is the sort of business idea we get really excited by and want to support whole heartedly!
Enter brilliant Liz Longacre, a gorgeous and compassionate former lawyer, who was inspired to start YTT after her experience volunteering abroad at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand.Tourists engage in countless activities all over the world that appear innocent on the surface but in reality harmfully exploit animals. YTT is a travel company for the socially-conscious animal loving traveler who wants all the perks of a traditional vacation (cultural, adventure, and sightseeing activities and beautiful hotel stays) while also incorporating activities that are truly beneficial for animals and avoiding those that are not. You’ve just got to watch this beautiful video Liz made about why she started this company.
Liz customizes trips to suit your schedule, needs and budget and incorporates spending a portion of your vacation either volunteering with an animal welfare organization or seeing animals in the wild on various types of safaris. YTT promotes vegan resorts, eco-lodges, and vegan cooking classes whenever available and will plan out exactly where you can eat on any trip to accommodate your vegan diet. Could this be a more genius service!?
Wouldn’t your rather support a green animal-lovin’ girl and her
company? We would!
